PRODUCER'S NOTE

Welcome to our second year of theater here at
Livingston College and Rutgers University. We are very
excited to be opening our 1999-2000 season with the
world's longest running musical-The Fantasticks, which
has broken all sorts of records during its long run. Some
of its accomplishments include being the most frequently
produced show by both professionals and amateurs,
having over 11,000 productions in the United States and
over 700 productions world wide in a multitude of
translations. The show has also had a myriad of celebrities taking on roles all over
the country. I believe the shows accomplishments and longevity is due to the
wonderful writing of the piece. The fact that the show is timeless, and it speaks of
life and humanity in a way which we, the audience can connect to, makes it a very
extraordinary7 piece. The memorable story and songs don't hurt the show either.

We here at The Livingston Theatre Company are very pleased to present this
wonderful, heartfelt musical to open our first full year.

Speaking of this season, I would tike to suggest coming back for all of our
shows, each one promises to be more invigorating than the next. We are currently
working very hard on our upcoming production of Nunsense. If you're not familiar
with the show, it is a zany musical comedy about five sisters putting on a benefit to
raise money to bury some nuns who were poisoned by some stew while the five
were away. It is laugh after laugh, with a bright and bouncy score, and is a great
entertainment for all. The show plays November 18-21. Tickets will be on sale
shortly. This is not one to miss. Then we will be doing the folk/ rock musical
Godspel! in April which is sure to be a blast. But you're here for The Fantasticks, so
